City Renewal Event: Jeremy Courtney

Join us on July 13 at 7:00 p.m. as Jeremy Courtney, founder of Preemptive Love, invites us to consider the world's greatest humanitarian crisis of our time as Syria and Iraq are ravaged by ISIS. Drawing on years of his work at the front lines in the Middle East, Courtney will take us past the media's interpretation of events to provide a local account of the true impact of ISIS in Iraq and the resulting refugee crisis in the area. Then he'll teach us how we as people committed to global justice can "love first, ask questions later" by re-conceptualizing what it means to be a peacemaker in this new era of international conflict.

Trinity Grace Church is a non-denominational Christian church in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Our vision as a church is to join God in the renewal of all things, and for us this begins in our lives and neighborhood.
